Light: Prefers full sun to light shade. More sun encourages heavier flowering.
Water: Moderate water requirements. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy, especially during hot spells. Once established, it can handle short dry periods.
Soil: Well-draining soil enriched with organic matter is ideal. Tolerates a range of soils if drainage is good.
Climate: Suitable for warm, frost-free climates. Can tolerate mild frost but benefits from protection in colder areas. Ideal for subtropical and coastal gardens.
Growth Habit: A compact, bushy perennial with fine, glossy green foliage and masses of small purple, pink, or white flowers throughout the growing season. Reaches about 30–60 cm in height and spread.
Uses: Excellent for borders, edging, containers, and mass plantings. A great choice for softening pathways and mixing into cottage-style or tropical gardens.
Care Tip: Lightly trim after flowering to maintain shape and encourage repeat blooms. Feed with a general-purpose fertilizer in spring and midsummer.
